Where In the World Is Princess Lousia Inlet?

Notes from the Blogmaster:

Princess Lousia Inlet is in British Columbia, Canada, but as you can see from the map above, it's a challenging location to reach.

In "Log of a Landlubber, writer Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of Perry Mason, shared the same kind of enthusiasm about this place that Cheryl expresses in the previous post:

"There is a calm tranquility which stretches from the smooth surface of the reflecting water straight up into infinity. The deep calm of eternal silences is only disturbed by the muffled roar of throbbing waterfalls as they plunge down from sheer cliffs. There is no scenery in the world that can beat it. Not that I've seen the rest of the world. I don't need to, I've seen Princess Louisa Inlet."

James F. McDonald, who purchased Princess Louisa Inlet in 1927, feared what developers and commercialization might do to the area, so in 1953, he deeded the property to the Princess Louisa International Society, explaining that:

"In giving my Princess Louisa Inlet property to the boating public of the Pacific Northwest, I feel that I am completing a trust. The head of Princess Louisa Inlet is one of the most lovely, outstanding, spectacular beauty spots in the world. It is Yosemite Valley, the Fjords of Norway and many other places all wrought into the background of our conifer forests of the Pacific Northwest."
